ACE Manifest Modernization Release 3-Ocean (INT-062) Entering Production October 24, 2026
CBP has placed ACE Manifest Modernization Release 3 for ocean cargo (INT-062) into the certification environment for testing, with a scheduled production deployment on October 24, 2026. Ocean carriers, NVOCCs, and trade parties that submit ocean manifests in ACE should validate their systems against the certification environment before the production go-live date.
We read the October 24, 2026 production date as a firm system-change milestone; in our view, any ocean manifest filer that has not yet tested in the certification environment is carrying avoidable operational risk heading into that deployment.
